I've always subscribed to the fatalistic idea that I'm not able to shape my future, or even fully control my actions and behaviors. I was born with a set of attributes, and these attributes are shaped by the circumstances I was born into. So I'm basically helpless we're all helpless, and we're careening toward some endgame that we can't quite predict.

Since its opening in 1957, the Dartmouth Skiway has come to symbolize a critical aspect of the College's heritage, paying homage to the hostile weather of the Still North on which many students thrive. It comes as no surprise, then, that skiing plays a critical enough role that it has been memorialized in "Passion for Snow" (2013), a documentary that explores the impact that Dartmouth alumni have made on the development of the skiing industry over the 20th century.

I'm from Connecticut, so I was on one of the Trips sections that makes everyone go back home for a week to sit around and stare at a wall in nervous anticipation alone, of course, because all of our friends had already started school a month earlier. I didn't really know how to spend my time, but one of the first things I did (after showering because, like, gross) was create a new playlist on iTunes that I titled "Dartmouth."

While it's pretty easy to feel sheltered in the teeny town of Hanover, the recession has proven itself very capable of bursting our Dartmouth bubble. National financial woes have taken their toll on all aspects of the student experience, from sweeping institutional changes such as changes to the financial aid policy, to deciding whether or not to eat out at Molly's for dinner.

Even though it sometimes seems that our dear old Dartmouth is flawless, we have to remember that the College that we've come to know and love does have an extensive history of failures. Try as they might to sweep the dirt under the rug, the higher-ups can't hide some of Dartmouth's most egregious oversights, missteps and embarrassments. Let's take a walk through the shadier side of Dartmouth's history.

Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas, and his family met students and Hanover residents at two events hosted by Greek organizations on Tuesday. Perry's son, Griffin Perry, visited Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity on Tuesday afternoon to promote his father's campaign and speak with students. During a brief speech, the governor's son said his father believes that entrepreneurs are the solution to creating jobs, and will "actually do something about this economy." The event, attended by approximately 70 students and community members, was co-hosted by Alpha Xi Delta sorority. Beta Alpha Omega fraternity hosted Rick Perry in a post-debate event on Tuesday event. In a short speech, Perry said strengthening the economy would be his first priority as president and that he would use the country's natural resources to lessen the country's dependence on foreign oil. The audience erupted in applause after Perry promised to generate new jobs in the energy sector, and again after he took a jab at President Barack Obama. Perry wound his way through the crowd of about 100 individuals following his speech, as he shook hands, autographed campaign signs, introduced himself to students and established points of commonality by sharing personal college anecdotes. Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority and SAE cosponsored the event.

The Steering Committee of the General Faculty, comprised of five Councils of the General Faculty, convened on Monday to discuss current and past projects as well as goals for the upcoming year. The Council on Benefits implemented a cap on out-of-pocket health care costs at 7 percent of employees' yearly income to assist lower-paid Dartmouth employees. The council also discussed plans for a new wellness program to be created during the 2012-2013 academic year. Over the past year, the Council on Graduate Studies approved masters programs in heath care delivery science and biophysical chemistry, and reviewed the masters programs in comparative literature, computer science and molecular and cellular biology. The most notable increase in enrollment occurred within the biology graduate program, which the council attributed to the construction of the new Class of 1978 Life Sciences Center and the hiring of new faculty members. The Council on Libraries focused on expanding Dartmouth's collections and helping additional universities join Borrow Direct, a library exchange service that offers over 50 million volumes. The Council on Sponsored Activities announced the establishment of a new system that determines and manages conflicts of interest in research projects while the Council on Computing reported on the current state of information technology at the College. The Steering Committee's attendance policy forbids members of the press from directly quoting statements made during the meeting and from identifying members in attendance.

You can debate the merits and flaws of the Greek system all you want, but one thing is undeniable: Dartmouth students really care about rush. Discussions about rush are ubiquitous during this time of the fall, but one question is perhaps asked more than any other: How can the fraternity and sorority recruitment processes be improved? How should rush ideally function at Dartmouth?

Hello, and welcome to the final Compact Mirror of 11X! This week, we decided to give all of you '13s (and random interlopers) a reality check from sophomore Summer and broach a topic that affects us all, all year long: facetime. The question of facetime is a pretty contested one here at Dartmouth people always seem to be trying to get it, trying to avoid it or trying to figure out what it means. On some days, you might be awkwardly sitting on first floor Berry with an Arnold Palmer from KAF with no homework until someone acknowledges you (hi everyone!). Other times, you might be ducking behind trees on Mass Row because you've literally never looked grimmer and showering just seems to take too long (even though it's a kiln outside and you can't stop sweating what are you doing?). Admit it you're constantly thinking about getting or avoiding facetime. It's undeniable that facetime unfortunately controls some of our choices here at Dartmouth. But just how seriously do we take facetime? Do Dartmouth students knowingly join groups that attract more campus attention with the goal of being seen? What does it say about us as a community? Where do YOU go when you want people to see you wearing your sorority tank/flexing in a frat pinnie/playing the oboe (or maybe that's just me)? We here at The Compact Mirror hope to answer all of these questions you probably don't have, and more. Except not really the term is ending and we just don't have the time. Bye!
